Today page views of my blog reached 15000, let me thank all
my friends who read and taking a step further, encouraged me by various ways .
But
my prime intention of writing this blog
is not to express gratitude but to analyze the readership of the blog, specially
the distribution of the readership.
I have tabulated the numbers of the readers from the top ten
countries, and the number of people living in those countries in the Srilankan Diaspora,
in order to compare the numbers. Then I calculated the number of viewers for
each country for a 100000 srilankans living in that particular country. The
table below is the product of that analysis.
